CommentaryHaving a four-armed form alone is proper for this Lord of all, the Supreme Being, the Supreme Brahman, who has assumed the human form as the son of Vasudeva for blessing this world. But, [at birth] in answer to the prayer of Vasudeva, who was terrified by Kamsa, the two extra arms were withdrawn until the death of Kamsa, thereafter they reappeared. Vasudeva prayed thus: — ‘You are born, O Lord, O God of gods, withdraw this form bearing conch, discus and mace out of grace ...... withdraw this form of four arms, O Self of all’ [1]. Even for Sisupala, who hated Krishna, this four-armed form alone was the objective of constant contemplation, as described— ‘Him who is of four long and robust arms, bearing the conch, discus and the mace’ [2]. |
